Pressure building at Selhurst Park
Liverpool travel to Selhurst Park on Sunday with Crystal Palace under mounting pressure after three league defeats in a row. Palace sit 18th of 20 with seven points from nine matches, while Liverpool are fifth on 15. The gap is 13 places and eight points, giving the home side a clear need to respond as the Premier League campaign continues.
Palace’s recent slide has been costly: they have scored three goals and conceded 10 across their last five league matches. Liverpool also come off a defeat, but their position and away form put them in a stronger place ahead of this meeting.
Palace’s defensive test
Crystal Palace have taken two wins and a draw from nine league matches, alongside six defeats. They have scored nine goals, conceded 21 and kept one clean sheet. At Selhurst Park, their four league games have brought one win and three defeats, with 10 goals conceded and no clean sheets.
Liverpool’s league record is four wins, three draws and two defeats. They have scored 11 and conceded nine, with four clean sheets. Away from home, they are unbeaten in four: three wins and a draw, seven goals scored and only three conceded. Their last five league matches have brought three wins and two defeats.
Recent meetings have favoured Palace
The last five meetings across competitions have produced two Crystal Palace wins, one Liverpool win and two draws. The most recent, a Premier League fixture in April, ended Liverpool 3-1 Crystal Palace. The previous league meeting at Selhurst Park finished 2-1 to Palace.
Players to watch
The key task for Palace is turning home pressure into a more reliable defensive display: they have conceded 10 times in four league matches at Selhurst Park. Liverpool’s away attack has been more productive, scoring seven in four road games, while their two away clean sheets underline the challenge facing the hosts.
Our prediction
Liverpool’s unbeaten away run and the contrast between their defensive record and Palace’s recent struggles point towards an advantage for the visitors. PreviaXI’s model also favours Liverpool, while Palace’s need for a response could still make the contest competitive.
Crystal Palace 1-2 Liverpool
